• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

What did you do to your Spyder today?

Well it's going to be cold and windy after being warm the last several days, so I decided to take advantage of the time to do some maintenance on my wifes floorboards.

I bought the 3-6 inch risers for the OEM passenger floorboards a couple of years ago from Pierre and they were starting to rust and the paint was peeling off of them so I took them off today and ground off the rust and loose paint with a dremel.

I am taking the pieces tomorrow to Linex to see if I can get the risers coated with Linex so they don't rust or peel anymore.
 
First little test ride after hybernation.

First ride of the season yesterday.
Everything worked fine and the weather was sunny for once. I just took a short round to do some shopping and stop by a buddy to say hi.
Took the scenery route back home and it started to snow a little darn it, so was glad to be back in the garage and innside by the fireplace again. :coffee:
Anyways, the Spyder seems to be good and ready for a new and hopefully long season :thumbup:
 
I took the blanket off, unhooked the tender, got it fired up, did a loop around the town, got her all warmed up, and parked it in the garage bay; where I'll be undressing her and doing the spring service, plugs and wires, doing away with the clunky air box, and putting on a new breather housing from BajaRon's!! :2thumbs: If I can't use my snowmobiles, may as well get the RT ready!

I didn't do anything, It is still on the battery maintainer for a little while longer.

The :spyder2: is getting restless!

I'll wake up the :spyder2: next month.

Extracted the RT from the corner of the garage and moved it into the primary position in the launch bay.

Hoping to go riding this weekend.

Was actually last Saturday, but I took the Spyder out for a test ride. Not to test the Spyder, but to test my shoulder, which was replaced in December. Only a short ride, but all went well. Now to wait for a nice day to take a little longer ride for a more thorough test.
 
Linex wanted too much to coat the Passenger floorboard risers so I just got some rustoleum truck bed liner spray and sprayed the pieces myself.

In between coats I was able to get my custom emblem installed.

We did an 80 mile loop today. Left for the ride under clear blue skies. During the ride we were watching the darkening sky and feeling the dropping temps. We decided to head home. We beat the rain by an hour or so.

And ordered a Show Chrome heavy duty strut for the rear, top case from Slingmods.

Put one on the F3 a couple of years ago; yesterday, I put one on the '012 RSS. I Hope it works as good.
